YEAR IN REVIEW 2023: WHAT WERE YOUR TOP GETS? MISSES?
*****YEAR IN REVIEW 2023: WHAT WERE YOUR TOP GETS? MISSES?*****
Wanted to start by thanking our founder Steve Cyrkin, Admin for this wonderful site!
I'm up to 65 Friends here, and so appreciate everybody's contributions in this community to help build our collections in this Autograph hobby we all so love.
As 2023 comes to a close, it's time again for:
*****YEAR IN REVIEW 2023: WHAT WERE YOUR TOP GETS? MISSES?*****
If you all will kindly allow me to go first here's
*****MY TOP GETS: (In no apparent order)
Rod Stewart
Rob Halford (Judas Priest)
The Struts
Geddy Lee (Rush)
Duff McKagen (Guns N Roses)
Def Leppard
Iggy Pop
Shania Twain
Adam Lambert
*****MY MISSES:
None this year, our awesome community shared some incredible finds and I got all the ones that interested me!
Now, I am still looking for a BRIAN MAY. London Stereoscopic has a book for 50 pounds, plus 30 pounds Shipping to Canada...that's almost $140 CAD and I could still get hit with Duty. Hoping Brian will do a solo album in 2024 and pick up a signed Cd for way less than $140!
So...now it's your turn.... 2023: WHAT WERE YOUR TOP GETS? MISSES?
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year...See you in 2024 !!!

Those are some nice gets for sure KP !!!

Hits were Kate Bush, How to be invisible. Was lucky enough to get a copy with invisible ink. Managed to also grab a Stewart Copeland signed snare head as well as a personalised Madness vinyl.
Wasn’t a bad year. A shame about Liam Gallagher and Elton John autopens though. Wonder how many autopen dramas 2024 has in store…

Hey Joe nice hits for sure, and I totally agree re Liam Gallagher & Elton autopens.
Hopefully more and more artists are learning that they'll get caught and called out if they dare employ the dreaded autopen!

Thirty Seconds to Mars - yeah I fell for it lol
-And last on this list but by far from least
Barbra Streisand
This isn't even a complete list. I left out many that are either still available, not as popular, or I just didn't want to dig thru my collection to remember.
Misses are still plenty but main ones are Pink, Depeche Mode and Bush greatest hits vinyl which is a miss only because the description states signed print but instead was a signed cover to everyones surprise
Thanks Jimmy James for posting another year in review! We still have a couple weeks but let's have a great 2024

Nice list Jason. Impressive. Weird to think back on the last year and all of that stuff popping up. Probably wouldn't have imagined it a year ago at this time.
-

Haha just noticed some random little misspellings for some names in my list but no way to fix it now lol
After the Bob Dylan nonsense, I was so close to taking an extended break from this hobby. I just couldn't stay away though. My 1st surgery was the beginning of March and I really had nothing better to do lol, but for a while there I was very close to giving up and missing out on all of these great signatures. You're right though. I never thought I'd ever have a chance getting some of these names
-

Hi Jason H, now THAT is what I'd call some serious gets and collecting.
Hope that's the end of surgeries for you Jason.
If you see a Brian May cheaper than London Stereoscopic please let me know.
I haven't run into Dan Aykroyd of late, but when I do, I'm requesting an autograph for you :)
All the best, see you in 2024.
-

Thanks Jimmy James. I'll keep you in mind for sure if I or someone on her comes across a cheaper option.
Oh, I did miss out on an Aykroyd signing with Jim Belushi earlier this year I would have drove to if I only knew 2 days sooner. Oh well, one of these days I'll catch him again but thanks for keeping a lookout

Kate Bush
Debbie Harry and Chris Stein
Kylie Minogue
Jack White
Bryan Ferry

Michael CaineThis is far from a complete list, just the cream of this year’s crop.
Misses:
Paul Simon — too late, simple as that.
Joan Baez — I already have a vintage autograph from her. I wanted her new book, but not enough to import a copy from the United States at an inflated cost. Irritated that this one didn’t turn up for sale in the U.K.
